4 Reasons Why You Need to Do SEO Right Now

 Put quite simply:  SEO works. This is a very point blank reason but it's entirely true. As of right now, Google processes roughly three and a half billion (that’s billion, with a ‘B’) searches each and every day.  With those kinds of numbers, it’s tough to argue against that ranking in Google's search results offers a valuable opportunity to get you more visitors to your website. This is very important because an increase in traffic means an increase in opportunities for you to convert visitors into new sales...

What Is Your SEO Company Doing For You?

During my conversations with small business owners, I am often surprised with how often they are unaware of the work being done on their behalf by their SEO companies. A vast majority of business owners understand the importance of having their website rank well for relevant search terms in their industry, but very few of them are able to tell me exactly what work is being done in order to accomplish this. “I’ve got people working on that” is a common claim. But when pressed to explain what...

If your business is like most businesses then you have probably tried (and possibly failed) to solicit more positive reviews online. Everyone knows that Yelp is a tough review site to crack so you may have tried Google+. Google+ is great because all it requires is a gmail and your customers don't need to have written countless reviews for their glowing sentiment about you to be shown.

Local Chicago SEO

Local SEO has become increasingly important over the past few years and has also become increasingly complicated.

Local SEO has shifted and given way to the things that consumers care about when making a local buying decision. Reviews, complete local business listings, efficient social media campaigns and a site that is informational and user friendly has slowly taken the place of fictitious links and tactics like burying zip codes...
